God is Light - Part 2

In the beginning... darkness was on the face of the deep. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:1,2,3,4

“I am YHVH; there is no other. I form light, I create darkness.”Isaiah 45:7 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it. I John 1:5 God is light, and there is no darkness in Him. I John 1:5 Yahshua said, “ I am the light of the world; whoever follows Me, will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life. John 8:12 This was the true Light, which gives light to everyone entering into the world. John 1:9 For God, Who commanded to the light to shine out of darkness has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Yahshua the Moshiach. II Corinthians 4:6

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.... All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.

Before God divided the light from the darkness, there was only one entity. The darkness was unable to suppress the light, therefore it was one great light. In I John 1:5 we read “God is light”. So, when God divided the light from the Darkness, He dispersed Himself into Creation, as it is written “which gives light to everyone entering the world.”

Now, we find written in the book of Ecclesiastes (or Kohelet in Hebrew), “There is nothing new under the sun” and “that which has been is now and that which shall be is already.” Therefore, whatever things are on the earth were created in the six days of Creation. For it says that “on the seventh day, God ended His work.” This means that every tree that we see in the field, every flower in the meadow or rose in the garden existed in the first six days of Creation. For does it not say, “whose seed is in itself?”

So, if God divided Himself and emanated His Light into creation, there is a spark of the Divine in every human being, in every tree, in every animal. Does that mean we worship man or beast, tree or stone? No. But we should love one another, all the more. We should show respect to His creation even greater by not wasting, littering, or showing cruelty to animals. It doesn't mean we must become vegetarians or PITA people, but we should strive to be more respectful of the creation.
